iODBC is used on Mac, but in my experience, unixODBC is more popular
on Linux. I don't know what is used on Solaris or the BSDs. I'm not
keen on the idea of only offering functionality on one platform.
Without using wxUSE_ODBC, I don't see that you'll be able to do this
nicely in a cross platform way. I suppose you could allow the user to
select the ODBC driver libraries (eg. psqlodbc.so) directly, but that
will mean that DSNs can't be used.
Anyone else got any thoughts?
